Startling.
Salina Herald.

Quite a sensation was created this
morning in Ober & Wilson's grocery
store on the opening of an express pack
age from Chicago. It appears that all
were unsuspecting, and when Mr.. Reed,
the book keeper, found, instead of choice
package of groceries, a small cannon in the
shape of the favorite bombs manufactured
by the Chicago anarchists, all was con-
sternation and confusion.
The bomb is made of one inch gas pipe
and is neatly and substantially plugged at
both ends, with fuse about four inches
long securely fastened in one end.
With the late scenes enacted in Chicago,
as chronicled by the press, fresh in ones
mind, sight of the little eight-inch tor
pedo sends chill of terror through the
very marrow of ones being.
The clerks have been indulging in spec
ulation as to the intention of the sender,
but no clew has as yet been reached. The
package was correctly labelled from
Chicago, and about the only conclusion
yet reached is that it is one of the bombs
found in Lingg's cell, and is sent to E. w
ODER for exhibition. A few of the more
adventurous sort will probably see what
there is in it before long. We have but
little doubt that it will turn out to be a
joke of some one, and the pipe will be
found to con tain sand or sawdust

The Graham County Shooting
AHos,.

From Mr.. G. l.. Vaughan we learn the
particulars Of the Graham county shoot
ing affair, mention of which was made in
last weeks World.
It seems Mrs. Allen was at home alone.
She was busily engaged in household du
ties. Happening to go out doors, she
observed a stranger trying to unite one of
Mr.. Aliens horses, which was ,hitched
near the dwelling. As soon as the thief
saw her he drew a revolver and began
firing at her, and shot her three times.
when she fell to the ground, unconscious,
from wounds in the wrist, neck and head.
After doing the bloody deed, the thief
fed, without taking the horse.
When Mrs. Allen became conscious,
she gave description of her assailant.
and in short time fully fifty well armed
men were securing the country, deter
mined to bring the miscreant to justice.
1t is reported that, as yet, all efforts to
find the fugitive have proved unavailing,
and that he has probably escaped. This.
however, is doubted by many, who think
that he was captured by his pursuers.
and speedy dose Of justice administered
to him.

A Marvellous Region.
Atchison Champion,

Atch1Son Champion.
Not disparaging word can truthfully
be said of any portion of Kansas, but it
must be conceded that for every element
of permanent and substantial prosperity,
of a growth and development that, in the
near future will discount any other Sec
ton of this great state, Northern and
Northwest Kansas is destined to take and
keep the lead. This magnificent, and un-
til within few years, imperfectly appre-
ciated region, is rapidly settling up with
an excellent class of people, mostly from
the older states. In every county splen-
did towns, conveniently located, we'll laid
out, with residences, stores, mills, shops,
banks, schools and churches that would
be credit to New England and the mid
die States, and with every evidence of
thrift. are to to be found, occupied by an
intelligent, enterprising and happy peo-
pie. Farms highly improved and fur
nished with all the modern appliances of
agriculture, with the raw prairie lands in
the newer counties being rapidly brought
under cultivation, distinguish this won
derful section. Ample railways and mar
ket facilities, constantly increasing
supply of water and timber, a climate
unsurpassed for healthfulness; these,
with every other condition essential to
the comfort, well-doing and continued
prosperity of an industrious, enterprising
and worthy people, are among the chief
attractions of this garden spot of Kansas.
Tile Champion is proud to be identified
with such glorious country, to record
from time to time it's phenomenal progress
and to keep it prominently before the
public.

The Record.

The record OF the Republican party Is
glorious one. Here it is briefly sumniar.
ized-a reproduction Of circular which
was spread before the voters Of New York,
this fall:
The Republican party is party Of the
people and for them, created by the peo-
pie and controlled by them.
It suppressed rebellion and saved the
Union.
1t conquered war and established peace.
It gave freedom to race and free
ballot to all men.
It was patriotic enough to create a debt
to carry on war and honest enough to
make provision to pay that debt.
It made liberty universal in the States
and the flags honored throughout the
world.
It made treason odious and loyalty the
badge of respected citizenship.
1t raised the nation from bankruptcy
and secured for our public credit the faith
of the financial world.
It has made persons and property and
freedom of thought and of expression Sc
cure in every part of the land.
It has dignifed labor and secured it's
rightful reward by protective tariff laws.
1t has practically given each citizen a
free home by securing the public domain
from the monopoly of capital.
1t has, by rigid supervision of corpo-
rate franchise, made transportation cheap,
safe and rapid for persons and property.
It has, by generous and yet just appro-
priations for pensions, illustrated it's love
and respect for the nations gallant de-
tenders.
1t has made competency a condition
for appointment to Office and fidelity to
duty the tenure of holding it.
It has reduced public expenditure to
the lowest point consistent with the gen.
eral welfare, and collected the tax from
sources best able to pay it.
1t has made religious liberty more Sc
cure to all forms of faith by an enlighten
ed public opinion and established free
schools with no sectarian domination in
them.
1t has by its fidelity to public trust,
by its constitutional amendments, by its
statutory amendments federal and State,
by the life and character of it's long line
of statesmen, heroes, orators and martyrs,
by its sacred traditions, and its matchless
history of great things accomplished,
proven itself competent and worthy to
achieve the great things yet to be done
for the good and glory of the country.

The anarchists in many different

The anarchists in many different
cities of the United States held meetings
last Sunday. The intention was to plant
the seeds of further social revolutions
The seeds never will bear fruit. Before
the arrival of the fruit-bearing period, the
law-and-order element of the United
States will have made thorough prepara-
tions for illustrating to anarchists that
they must confine their operations to soil
foreign to this. Even the ignorance of
the bulk of the misguided anarchists can
not prevent their seeing in due time that
America is not their home, unless their
choice is to repose quickly under the
daisies,

GENERAL HENRY JACKSON

GENERAL HENRY JACKSON is do
ing good service to the country, and his
recent speech at Macon will aid material
ly in securing the election of Republi-
can president next year. To those sore
headed Republicans who consorted with
the Democrats in the recent election, we
commend the speech of General Jackson,
a representative Southern Democrat, as
affording some very excellent food for re-
Election.

THE Kansas CITY Exposition clos

The Kansas City Exposition clos
ed last Tuesday. We looked through it
the day before. The displays filled a
a very large building with four floors.
Kansas products were present in numer-
Gus phases. Several Kansas counties
made distinctive exhibits. Many states
were represented. South America, Cen
trail America and Mexico displayed the
raw materials which constitute their
natural greatness. Kansas City, of course,
paraded her own business resources with
telling effect. During the six weeks of the
exposition the attendance consisted of q
constant throug of people.

errors are these: That big crops cannot be

that the eastern portion of the state is

ONE DAY LEFT.

An official stated yesterday that today was
the last day for CANNES to live and prosper
in the city without wearing a badge showing
that they were paying for the frequent mid
night disturbances. Il am glad to note that
comparatively a very small per cent of
dog-owners have made their appearance at
the city clerks office and made the necessary
deposit to compel the neighbors to put up
with the unearthly bowling and yelling that
has always had tendency to give the city
the nightmare. The result of this hesitation
to put up can easily be guessed The
city will soon have to pay for
big dray bill You remember near year
ago the police upon instruction opened upon
the city pets and great was the kicks of the
natives. Yes, and great will be the kick of
the natives this time. and just let them kick.

800 dogs in this town that ought to dis

A SERlOCS CHARGE.

Yesterday afternoon Chas. Todd, a plas-
terer about twenty-eight years of age, was
arrested upon serious charge, preferred
against him by Nj c. E. Jones, well
known real estate man.
Todd, it is said, burst open door to an
out house and wes about to make a criminal
assault upon the daughter of Mr.. Jones,
when the little girls cries frightened him
and he gave up the accomplishment Of his
hellish design.
She ran home and related the circumstan-
ces to her father who becoming very angry
started in pursuit of the william that had
made such an assault upon his little girl
While driving on Emporia the child pointed
out man and said he was her assailant
Mr.. Jones called the person and taking
him into the carriage drove with
him to the city building handing
him over to City Marshal Gaines
by whom lie was locked in the city prison.
Later in the day he was brought before JUS
tice Walker and sent to the county Jail upon
the charge attempted rape.
Last night about 10 o'clock he was visited
at the Jail and through the bars of the cell
said, when spoken to regarding the crime,
81 know nothing about the crime;
had been working all day on Pennsylvania
avenue in the south part Of the city at my
trade, plastering. | came up Lulu avenue to
get lead of sand and returned to my work.
Afterwards, when / was coming down En-
poria avenue, Mr.. Jones in carriage with
two other gentlemen and two little girls came
driving along. Reaching ME he called
HE 20 come to him. Asking me to take a
sest in his carriage, he drove to the mayors
and then to the cooler where was confined.
The next place came to was Justice Walk
er's court and he set my preliminary hear
ing for next Tuesday. l am innocent and
can prove that / never was near the
Fourth ward school house al the time the
offense is alleged to have taken place"
Todd is a rather good locking fellow with
florid complexion, black hair and mustache.
He is said 10y members of the police force to
have hanging over his head.the suspicion of
being connected with a horse theft COM
| mitted last summer
Mr.. Jones intends pushing the prosecution,
and if the man be guilty have hlm punished
to the fullest extent Of the law.

ish and yenerate the memory of their native
state, with its wooded hills and verdant val
leys, the scenes OF their childhood, yet Sun
ny Kansas has charms which are more fas
